View From the Bushes

Well at long last the Midnight adventure is available. I told every one at GenCon that it would be around a week -- it turned out to be a little over two weeks. But of course my greatest crime was not having it available long before then. Not only is the adventure itself incredible, but the art and the cartography are probably orders of magnitude better than what you would find in your average PDF product. At the moment I'm waiting for the guys at RPGNow to approve the product before I really start putting out the announcement, but it's already available to all full subscribers and to those wishing to purchase it as a PDF. As I said time and time again, it was written by Wil Upchurch so as you can well imagine he really nails the atmosphere and the story that makes the Midnight setting so uniquely enjoyable. In any case check it out. I haven't decided whether to put a snippet of it up. I probably will eventually, but I can't imagine that "High-Level Midnight Adventure by Wil Upchurch" doesn't give you all the information you need.

In other news, I went biking for the first time in several weeks yesterday morning. I had scheduled a labor day ride with my father and brother-in-law probably a month ago, so even though I felt crunched for time and completely unprepared for such a demanding physical activity, I still went ahead and did it. I'm glad that I did (even if it did probably keep me from making my Labor Day deadline for Midnight), though I'm still very much feeling the aftereffects today. Actually, for most of the ride out and back I felt pretty good, the unfortunate problem with the ride is that my parents' house (which is where we started from) sits on top of this massive hill, so after biking for 33 miles you have this monstrosity waiting for you at the end. I'm not ashamed to admit that without exaggeration I was audibly whimpering by the time I hit the top of that last hill.

Well, it looks like in the time it's taken me to write this that the RPGNow link has been approved and I even have my first sale (of just the adventure), which is how I found out that the link was active, so I better wrap this up and start making some announcements on the various and sundry message boards. Until tomorrow.
